The weed block is turning out to be a bit of a bust. Not to mention a pain in the butt. However, we are finally getting somewhere with our garden. The transplants, not so good, but direct planting of the beans, carrots, cucumbers and squashes is turning out to be the way to go.

All have been watered and mulched with tender loving care and are doing very well. There are blooms on the lemon, orange, plum and lime trees. This is so fun and it answers the question I had when we bought this property, "what are we going to do with all this space?".

The garden, well, that hasn't been going as well as we had hoped. Transplanting from inside to outside has proven to be a bit of a waste of time. I've had to replant the seeds directly into the soil for lettuce, squash, zucchini, and cucumbers. They just haven't done very well. It the GUMBO soil I TELL YOU!

I planted the majority of the asparagus outside directly into their own raised bed. But inside, I had extra seeds that I had soaked, I planted three others! Below are two coming up. I will check outside to tomorrow for those.﻿

On a personal note, I've applied for two jobs in the last two weeks. I don't think the 1st company is going to call me. But, the I had the Texas Department of Public Safety~Drivers License Division in stitches today. As I was leaving the head of the board said "I haven't laughed like this all day!" I'm hoping that's a good sign.﻿
